Ben Ezechime, Enugu
Honorable Denis Agbo, member representing Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency, of Enugu State, has announced his defection from the Labour Party (LP) and his return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The lawmaker said this in a statement issued on Wednesday in Enugu and made available to newsmen.
In the statement, Agbo attributed his decision to dump the Labour Party on the impressive performance of Governor Peter Mbah as well as the ongoing internal crisis within the LP and the overwhelming calls from his constituents.
He said: “The performance of the Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Dr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah, since inauguration has been nothing short of outstanding.
“I have had the privilege of supporting and contributing to the administration’s commitment to moving the state forward.”
“In deference to the popular wishes of the highly enterprising people of Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency, I have decided to resign my membership of the Labour Party and return to the Peoples Democratic Party.”
He emphasized that working from the same political platform as Governor Mbah would create the synergy needed for greater development in both the constituency and the state.
